Makeup Trade Anyone?

I have a few products that I was planning on returning, but would be interested in a trade.I have the ocho loco 2 set. I used most of the colors just once. There were a few colors that I sharpened. I have 2 YSL lipsticks that I swatched and they weren't the right color. I also have about 12 UD eyeshadows and again they were used maybe 3 times at the most. I was just going to return them but If someone has something I may be interested in trading, then I would be fine doing that!

Re: Makeup Trade Anyone?

I'm glad I stumbled upon this thread. I didn't know if a makeup trade was appropriate or not. I have a few Tarte blushes that have no box but are brand new that are too dark for me, as well as some other makeup (gloss, liners, etc) If anyone is serious about a trade, let me know and I will post details of the items :-) I want to update my fall collection and have no room for new stuff!

Re: Makeup Trade Anyone?

When I get sets or samples I won't use I set them aside someplace. Well, that spot is getting pretty full - is trading a good idea? I don't want anything to go to waste...

I can take a picture of what I have, but it ranges from Stila skin care products, a diffuser for the T3 Featherweight 2, some eyeliners, tons of fragrance samples, etc... Maybe I should just donate locally?

Did anyone do trades? How did that work out?

I don't need anything (hahahaha) but I'm a sucker for limited edition Urban Decay liners. I don't have Stray Dog or Midnight Cowboy but am interested. I'm also a bit of a hygiene freak so I'm not sure how it works to make sure things are sanitary? Thoughts?

Re: Makeup Trade Anyone?

I'm in the same boat. I've donated, given away, gifted, in a TSB, then started my own TSB. I've gotten my stash dwindled pretty well. I'm currently sitting on a brand new unopened Naked 3. I'm a dummy and got caught up in the hype. I don't even wear eyeshadow, much less PINK eyeshadow! So, I'll return it eventually whenever I am near a store. Unless...there is an awesome swap available...but I don't really need anything. How could this be done safely? There has to be a level of trust.

Re: Makeup Trade Anyone?

I hear you! I got caught up in the Naked 3 hype too but luckily I love mine. But I have a lot of other things I got but will never use.

I think rubbing alcohol works to sanitize. I once got a sample liner from a store, I cleaned it thoroughly with rubbing alcohol then sharpened it to a new point where I knew I was safe.

Maybe we should list / photograph what we have, what we're interested in and see if there are takers? I can do mine tomorrow. I would even be happy with a Sephora gift card to cover shipping plus a few extra bucks for most of my stuff - just want it to find happy, loving homes.

Re: Makeup Trade Anyone?

I'm in the same boat. I have a whole thing of UD liners, some palettes, some single shadows, etc that just need to go! I'll be putting some in a traveling box but I have tons more! I feel like this should be a thread
